Take Ann Curry Thursday, as she practically stonewalled Matt Lauer and his awkward attempts at small talk in her very first appearance on the TODAY show since she was replaced with Savannah Guthrie earlier this summer.

Curry, 55, was on to deliver a feature segment about Olympics still photographer Adam Pretty, when Matt, 54, gregariously said to her “Good morning, Ann, nice to see you.”

As we previously reported, Curry finished out her TODAY tenure in June with just more than a year in the lead anchor role, and her ouster came after the NBC morning juggernaut lost a 16-year lead over its chief rival, ABC’s Good Morning America.
